Beginning this year, the Wyoming Forensics Institute will operate an open book policy. We promise the community that we run our camp revenue-neutral, with a focus on serving students and the community rather than funding our college team. Our open book policy is a way of demonstrating the veracity of that promise.
You can find a copy of our books here. We try to run the camp as close to revenue-neutral as possible. In 2021, extraordinary circumstances diminished interest in a second year of online debate camp, particularly at regional camps and particularly while the rest of the world seemed to be opening up. Rather than cutting our staff with little notice during a pandemic, we decided to extend additional financial assistance to students in order fill our labs to the student-instructor ratio we were comfortable with. Thus, to sustain regional interest in debate, we extended a significant number of tuition waivers. This was made possible by a year of online debate and is not expected to be possible again in the future. Additionally, we will be disclosing the salary of all staff members who opt-in to disclosure. This year, that includes 100% of our staff. You can find that in the same link above. UW Debate supports a model where camps disclose salary guidelines and the specific salaries offered to each staff member. The goal is to prevent gendered and racialized salary differences by embracing transparency.
